Michael J. Balick, Ph.D.
Vice President for Botanical Science
Director and Philecology Curator,
The New York Botanical Garden Institute of Economic Botany
Bronx, New York
Email: balickmike@aol.com
For more than three decades, Dr. Michael Balick has studied the relationship between plants and people, the field known as ethnobotany, and floristics, the study of botanical diversity within a specific region. Most of his research is in remote regions of the tropics, where he works with indigenous cultures to document plant diversity, knowledge of its traditional utilization and evaluation of the potential of botanical resources for broader application and use—while ensuring through legal mechanisms that benefits from such work are shared with local communities. He also conducts research in the urban environment in New York City, studying traditional healing practices of the Dominican immigrant community and working with local physicians and medical institutions to integrate evidence-based modalities into clinical practice, with the goal of improving the health care delivery system. He has been active in ethnopharmacological investigations—particularly in Belize where his research aided in the formation of the world’s first ethnobiomedical forest reserve.
He co-founded the Ix Chel Tropical Research Foundation in 1987, a center in Belize devoted to traditional healing and cultural preservation. From 1986 to 1996 he helped lead a program sponsored by the US National Cancer Institute to survey the flora of Central and South America and the Caribbean for plants with potential activity against cancer and HIV/AIDS. Since 1997, his scientific studies have focused on Micronesia, on the islands of Pohnpei, Kosrae, Palau and surrounding remote atolls.
